[marty 9998 0]

Had a good afternoon today on spring drillings ended up with 62 tried my new home made lofting kit out worked a treat shod of made some years ago I think they helped a lot just had to change to a 20g using 25gram 6 high pheasant and 23g three crowns shoot some good birds well out.

I have been making a lot of my own decoying gear for the last 10 years or so as the price of a lot of what you by is so over priced and made from cheep crap materials that's not built to last I have saved 100s of pounds over the years. I will upload photos A.S.A.P here is what I have made.

Pigeon magnets

Flapping pigeons to fit on magnet something like hyper flap [ I PREFER DEAD BIRDS ]

12 volt 500 rpm flappers for dead birds remote controlled. [ WILL RUN OR ABOUT 6 HOURS ON A 1.2 AMP HOUR BATTERY ABOUT 4 INCH X 2 INCH ]

adjustable cradles for dead birds so you can set them out in any position you like

adjustable legged shooting seat that spins round with removable back rest and rifle rest doubles from pigeons and rabbit shooting with rifle

Gun rest for in the hide.

Skinning knife.

Lofting kit [ IF YOU GOT TREES WHERE YOUR SET UP THEY WORK WELL ]

Always satisfying when you make your own kit on the cheap and it works

BTW the birds wings in the you tube vid are they broken at the wing joint and not the body ?

That pigeon was a bit shoot up was just using it to get the size right when building flapper arms wings need braking close to the body as possible
